Homemade meals during the time of Covid - March to May 2020 edition

With more folks "staying at home" due to the mandate in March and April...

a lot of home cooking, at least for me and my sister was going on...

Traveling on the 4 and return to Catahoula Coffee, Richmond, Albany and El Cerrito

Our gps had us take the 4 all the way to the Bay...

About to cross the bridge near the Middle River in Stockton...

Berry Manilow attempt...aka what ended up being a massively purple concoction

It would be cool if this really existed...

Purple coffee beans which I could enjoy in a purple mug...

Prince would be proud...

I thought I would try to recreate a drink I recently tried at Hawthorn...

Santos Coffee House revisit, homemade lemonade + Mr. Frostie

After checking out the new murals on 30th and Redwood...

TC drove over to the southern end of North Park...

Sadie Rose flat bread

We recently discovered this flat bread during our Sunday grocery excursions...

This was the 3-pack flatbread from Sadie Rose, a local bakery in San Diego...

Return to Indulge, plus Yog-Art and Mariposa revisits

After we enjoyed our rock-centrically named sandwiches from the  awesome Classic Rock Sandwich Shoppe, TC and I walked a little bit around the block to check out some of the street art...

I also wanted to check if that tiny gourmet food shop was open...

Party food in Canada

At C's aunt's house, we made our way to the backyard where the party was at...

C's cousins were super nice, greeting us and making us feel at home. One of them offered Bert a selection of Canadian beers....

Neveria Tocumbo - Chula Vista

Located just up the street at the lonely and mostly vacated Oxford Center strip mall

was the reboot of what used to be the old Baskin Robbins Ice Cream place...

Neveria Tocumbo - Chollas View

After our lunch at Asia Cafe, we headed across the street at this strip mall:

Ooh, they had a KD's Donuts here. Their sign isn't as, uh "distinctive" as the vandalized "D's Nuts" sign in Chula Vista though....

Even though we could have walked it, we drove, like the lazy asses we were, but also because it was fkg cold!

Pasta dinner

So, after such a long day, we headed back to our hotel suite where I made dinner for us...

That's TC playing with the pasta...

Return to Viva Pops

After our lunch at Blind Lady Ale House, TORC, TC and I made the short trek over to Viva Pops.

Gosh, look how tall TC is now. She is almost 5' and about the same height as TORC!

This place was also on Adams. We timed it so that we would get there when it opened by 1:00 pm...

When we got there, the door was locked!
